I wish Billy Tubbs was still out there . who would you get? Would you try to coax someone out of retirement ?who would that be?I think I would try to get a guy who would turn up the tempo a little .
Jim Chaney
I assume we don't pay McGarity for his looks and sparkling personality. He needs to prove he has the judgement to pick the right man to lead our basketball program. If I was the right man to find that coach I'd be the guy making the call. If McGarity can't make the right hires, which to date he hasn't displayed he can, maybe he should be fired along with Fox.
I think in all honesty ,I would try to bring in a Tim floyd at a utep,Bob Hoffman at mercer ,a Don Monson who coached at Idaho and Minn. A Tom Creen Indiana and Marquette .A thad Matta Ohio state.even try to land a Cliff Ellis Auburn and clemson or a Rick Pittino .
I really like that idea of a Jim Chaney. But I think I would go after a young lion in Chris Hack could work to ..

Chaney would bring in 350lb guards, we'd own the low post.
Don't really keep up with college basketball, except for Georgia games. Maybe Jeff Capel from Duke or another top assistant at a big-time program.
Chris Beard Texas Tech would be choice number one for me. Kelvin Sampson would second but it would be short term since he is 62 years old. His "NCAA issues" are not even against the rules anymore to tell how screwed up they are

I especially like your last two - both NCAA stalwarts.
Do we have any former players who are coaching now?
a young, hungry and ambitious person...eager to build something from the ground up...Capel may expect more support/commitment from uga. Most of these avail upper tier coaches want program support just as much as an upper tier paycheck. Uga has to show that prioritization "keeping it real"....we are looking for a guy looking to build a name...rather than an established name. We are a stepping stone bball program right now. What Uga does not need is a known mediocre name to satiate fans ....as He rides out his career in mediocrity .
Who was that guy at UCLA? Wooden, or something like that.....

Fox was supposed to be that young, hungry coach, this will clearly come down to the person making the hire being a good judge of ability. I haven't seen anything remotely special about McGarity.
Chris Jans New Mexico St or Steve Forbes East Tenn St, both have turned those two programs around. They both have won everywhere they have been. Watched both of them dominate one of the toughest JUCO conferences and states when they were at Chipola and NW FL State.

Who could they sign as head coach ,that you would want to watch first game?In other words get you excited enough ,to think basketball would not just get back to the ncaa's but go for deep runs .
In terms of name recognition an excitement, Capel would be a big pull but I'm not sure if we could get him, honestly without some major steps clearly indicating our commitment to the basketball program.
